SENIOR POEM We the class of '62 Have enjoyed four years with you. To our Alma Mater we present, A little praise in our” benefit! Ed Anderson, a four-letter sport, Goes with Brenda, sweet and short. Jane Albert reserves a space, Marty K's is the place! Then we turn to sparkler, Ralph, Always shootingoff his mouth. Mary Andrews is always late, Mr. Wasson's bus has to wait. Now we look to Earl Creason, A man who talks with little reason! Joyce Arnold who is now engaged, Will never be a sweet old maid. Loren Douglass is quite a ball, You'll always find him in the hall. Carolyn Davis, none the less, Is in band, the very best. Lawrence Curry has lots of zeal, Especially on the football field. Decemma Durbin, our majorette, Will always be on top, we bet! Harold Cunningham is no phoney, He is known by the name of Tony! Judy Denhart is quite a chick, When she plays 'Old Saint Nick'! Charles Clark in that Olds . Flies round corners. There he goes!
